Herbal Energetix Timeline
Find out the process and journey of how Herbal Energetix came to be
Medical Herbalist - Western Herbal Medicine
1990
"As a child, I used to walk along the river banks looking at the thistles, burdock and other wild plants and my interest developed from there."(Susan Koten, founder of the Willow Herbal Centre).
But she didn't take her hobby any further until she studied herbal medicine and began to use the plants she was learning about to deal with family ailments. Susan is qualified in both Western and Chinese Herbal Medicine. She qualified as a Medical Herbalist in 1990 at the School of Herbal Medicine in Tunbridge Wells.
Clinical Practice
1991
Upon gaining her Herbal Medicine qualification, Susan Koten set up practice in her home town of Upminster in Essex. She honed her professional skills over the years treating hundreds of patients until she began to outgrow her premises and so started to think about opening a clinic and making it a centre for excellence in the field of complementary and alternative therapies. And so the search began for a place that would eventually become The Willow Herbal Centre.
Chinese Herbal Medicine, Bowen Technique & Allergy Therapist
1997
In 1997 Susan completed a course of clinical practice of Chinese Herbal Medicine at Nanjing International acupuncture Training Centre in China and in 1998 completed a course at the School of Chinese Herbal Medicine under Michael McIntyre.

Susan is a Member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists, a Member of the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine, a Member of The British Institute for Allergy and Environmental Therapy and a Member of the Bowen Therapy Academy UK.
